Enjoy Cat Boarding At Our Sister Site – Balmain Cat Boarding

Balmain Cat Boarding is located at our sister site, Balmain Veterinary Hospital located at 77-81 Victoria Road, Rozelle. There is plentiful parking available for your convenience.

Yes, it is a requirement that all of our boarders are up to date with their vaccinations.

We verify your cat’s vaccination status when you send through a current vaccination certificate (your cat’s last vaccination must be no more than 12 months prior to their check in).

If your cat is overdue for their vaccination, we recommend you vaccinate your cat at least 2 weeks prior to your boarding check-in date. If your cats vaccination expires during their stay, our Vets can vaccinate your cat while they are boarding. This service incurs the regular cost of vaccinating your cat.

The minimum vaccination requirement for cats at our Hotel is a “F3” vaccination, which provides immunity against feline panleukopenia, feline calicivirus and feline herpes. For cats that roam outdoors, vaccination against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is also recommended, but this is not required to enter our Hotel as our guests are never socialized or mixed.

If you do not have a copy of your cat’s latest vaccination you can obtain one easily by contacting your previous Vet. If you are an existing client of Drummoyne Veterinary Hospital, we have all of these details on record.

An administration fee of $35 will apply if our staff need to track down your cat’s vaccination certificate to verify their vaccination status.

Boarders will be held in isolation and not allowed to enter our Hotel until a valid vaccination certificate has been provided.

As part of our commitment to keep our facilities flea-free, it is compulsory for all guests to receive a complimentary Capstar tablet upon arrival. This tablet is designed to rapidly kill any live fleas that may be on your pet when they arrive.

Fleas are easily transmitted between hosts in close proximity. Fleas can cause skin irritation and can carry disease. We recommend that all of our boarders are also on a good quality flea control applied regularly at home as part of their regular preventative care program. If your cat is due for their next flea treatment, our staff can apply the next dose when they check in.

If your cat is found to have a substantial flea burden, they may be kept in isolation and given additional flea treatments. Your cat will be kept in isolation until we believe they pose no risk to other guests at which point they may be admitted to our Hotel. 

Yes! We offer two specialised playrooms, which all guests have access to during their stay. Each room is uniquely themed and fitted with custom hammocks, scratch posts, walkways, a suspension bridge, and circular cut-outs sure to bring out the kitten within. And if that wasn’t enough, we provide dangling and rolling toys too!

Guests are given the opportunity to stretch their legs and rotate through the playrooms every few hours – all included in the Boarding package. Rotation times may vary depending on the number of guests staying at any given time, and also differs depending on  individual cats’ temperament – some cats prefer to relax and sleep their stay away!

Everyone will get the opportunity to play, although some cats may prefer to snuggle up with us at our desk, while our kitten boarders may need a little extra time to bounce out all of their energy.

Cats from different households will never play or roam at the same time to ensure the health and safety of all guests.

We offer a range of meal options for all of our guests, included in their package:

• A selection of Purina Pro Plan wet and dry foods for all life stages (Kitten, Adult and Senior 7+). 
• A limited selection of Hills Prescription Diet and Royal Canin Veterinary wet and dry – please contact us to confirm availability if your cat required these.

Other preferred diets, specialised prescription diets (wet & dry), and raw foods must be provided in sufficient quantities to last your cat’s entire stay.

In the event that your cat is struggling to get an appetite when they first arrive, we may feed food from other brands. Some cats just need something a bit different to get them going.

The Fine Dining Menu is an additional service separate to our complimentary food options above. Items from this menu can be purchased separately.

We encourage people to come and visit our facilities and see what’s on offer for themselves. We’re confident that you will be impressed!

All tours are by appointment only, to ensure that our Boarding team can be on hand to assist, answer any questions, and maybe even finalise your booking on the spot!

Please be advised that the length of your tour may be dependent on check ins and check outs on the day. We request that you are quiet during your visit and that you do not disturb the guests. Photos and/or videos are not permitted during tours.
